SIP WELDMATE® PRO 180A ARC/TIG Inverter Welder

The SIP WELDMATE® PRO 180A ARC/TIG Inverter Welder is a dual process inverter welder specifically designed for use in professional fabrication workshops.

Powerful, compact and lightweight, this welder also features Synergic Control which adjusts the welding current output according to the electrode diameter selected for optimal penetration and bead formation.

Fully compliant with Reg EU 2019/1784 (Eco Design for Welding Equipment), this welder features a 4th generation inverter which is above 80% energy efficient. This means it uses less power at the same output as older inverters, helping to lower operating costs.

Applications & uses: Ideal for use in professional fabrication workshops. Suitable for ARC/TIG welding. Ideal for mild steel, stainless steels and dissimilar steels.

What's in the box?: 1x SIP WELDMATE® PRO 180A ARC/TIG Inverter Welder (230v/16A), 1x 3mtr electrode lead, 1x 3mtr earth lead, 1x welding hammer/brush. TIG torch sold separately (Item 08206A recommended).

• DUAL PROCESS ARC/TIG INVERTER WELDER FOR GREATER APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY AT HIGH DUTY CYCLES: Duty cycle 20°C: 180A @ 30% (ARC/TIG). Lift TIG function for added welding versatility. Compatible with gas valve TIG torch (Item 08206A recommended).
• AN INFINITELY VARIABLE DIAL OFFERS SMOOTHER STEPLESS OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT FOR HIGHER QUALITY & EASY TO CONTROL WELDING: An intuitive control panel with LCD screen makes it easy to set the welding current output and select the welding functions.
• SYNERGIC CONTROL ADJUSTS THE WELDING CURRENT OUTPUT ACCORDING TO THE ELECTRODE DIAMETER SELECTED FOR OPTIMAL PENETRATION & BEAD FORMATION: Electrode diameter selector sets appropriate welding current output based on the diameter size selected. This ensures the optimum welding performance for the required application. Selectable electrode diameters: ? 1.6mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm and 4mm.
• EASY-TO-USE WELDING FUNCTIONS DESIGNED FOR GREATER WELDING CONTROL TO ACHIEVE HIGHER QUALITY WELDS: Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) prevents accidental arc strike-up for greater user safety. Anti-stick function prevents the welding electrode from sticking to the workpiece when striking-up for a smoother welding process. ARC force stabilises the arc for greater welding control and improved welding efficiency. Hot start delivers a short burst of higher welding current output, to improve arc ignition and help to penetrate thicker materials.
• METAL CASING WITH HEAVY-DUTY CARRY HANDLE & HIGH-QUALITY FINISH RESISTANT TO WORK AREA DAMAGE: The compact and lightweight design ensures easy work area movement.
